Would you? [he's not entirely sure--kaz is rough around the edges, yeah, but... he's always been well-intentioned.]

[he opens his mouth to speak again, but decides against it. instead, he leads them to his apartment.]

[brats]

You'd trust me to take care of something alive? Man, the only pets I had as a kid was like... a fish.

[ He says that as though he's not a kid now... uh-huh. But either way, he follows Sora to his apartment, clutching the cat to his chest and rubbing him as dry as he can. He's gonna end up soaked himself, but somehow he doesn't care all that much. Which is weird, cause really, Kaz isn't a huge fan of animals. ]

Have you got like, one of those plug-in blankets, or like, your mom's blow dryer?

i cant believe i still got the icon wrong goddamn

Well. [a pensive pause. with certainty:] Yes.

[once they're inside, sora disappears into the hallway, rummaging through the hall closet for a towel yukimi and the kitten can use, a small quilt, and his mom's heating pad--drying it with a blower makes him anxious, and he's not willing to subject the poor thing to that barbaric, howling contraption. he returns as silently as he left.]

Do you want anything from the kitchen?

shhhh no one will know

[brats]

[ Barbaric and howling seems like Kaz's style, tbh. ]

Cool, thanks. [ Carefully, he pulls the shivering kitty out of his jacket, taking the towel and rubbing him down. The poor kitten is almost too cold to do more than mewl, but after enough quick rubs, it starts complaining in earnest. ] Haha, that's what I like to hear. [ He holds the blanket-covered kitty up to his face. It's very cute. ] You don't like being wet, do ya? I thought not.

[ Uh, now's about the time when he remember's Sora's there too though, so he stops talking to the kitten and instead sets him down on the heating pad, holding him still. Back to looking ridiculously serious. ]

You got any lemon tea?
